4. You know, we don't grow most of the food we eat. We wear clothes other people make. We speak a language that other people developed. We use a mathematics that other people evolved... I mean, we're constantly taking things. It's a wonderful, ecstatic feeling to create something that puts it back in the pool of human experience and knowledge.
并不是每个人都需要种植自己的粮食，也不是每个人都需要做自己穿的衣服，我们说着别人发明的语言，使用别人发明的数学……我们一直在使用别人的成果。使用人类的已有经验和知识来进行发明创造是一件很了不起的事情。”

5. There's a phrase in Buddhism, 'Beginner's mind.' It's wonderful to have a beginner's mind.

10. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
你的时间有限，所以不要为别人而活。不要被教条所限，不要活在别人的观念里。不要让别人的意见左右自己内心的声音。最重要的是，勇敢的去追随自己的心灵和直觉，只有自己的心灵和直觉才知道你自己的真实想法，其他一切都是次要。
